Your religion, or mine, has nothing to do with it. Mine says it's caused by an "entity," the Devil or Satan. Yours may not attribute it to one entity... Fine, whatever, I have no problem with your beliefs, you are entitled to them.

But the fact remains, evil is loose... and it's probably gonna get worse for a while...

Every good story has a villain. The one I read, names him. Every story has a hero, mine also names Him. In the long run, I'm counting on my Hero... Can you count on yours?

But, while I'm waiting for Him (somewhat impatiently at this point, I must admit)... My Hero also told me to buy a "sword." You know, just in case. Swords are passe now, so I upgraded... I don't think he'll mind, in fact, that's probably what he meant.

Another one? In a worldview where we are nothing but globs of cells that have no point of existence but are here by accident, why not kill others and yourself when you can't take existing anymore? I'm not surprised that the amount of people who think this way is on the increase and I won't be surprised if we see more and more of these types of things as time goes on. Those who do not fear God will act any way they want.

Its almost like some kind of stupid conspiracy or something. This is strange and disturbing all at once. With the media all over this stuff like they are (think Vultures), it is no wonder all the morons in society are stepping up to the plate to get their 15 minutes of fame.

Just saw this a bit ago on my phone's news feed. Sigh. Yet another person taking out innocent life because they are unhappy with theirs. Yet more stoking of the anti-gun fire because the media's eye is on anything gun related right now.

CNN used to cover national news now they are going to report every and any gun related story to add fuel to the gun control debate.

Pffft... CNN... if they're not sensationalizing mass murders and demonizing inanimate objects, they're breaking the news about who's Dancing with the Stars. They lost their credibility with me long ago.

There is Evil in this world in the form of extremely sick individuals and it has always been here.

As may have already been posted...The very worst school massacre in the United States (with regard to the number of innocent dead) took place in Bath, Michigan in May of 1927 when an angry school board member blew up the town school.
In that incident he murdered 45 and wounded another 58 (some permanently maimed)
The majority of his victims were Kindergarten through 6th Grade children.
Following the first explosion there was a secondary one which killed Andrew Kehoe (the murderer) and also the school superintendent.

It's called copycatting it it's a consequence of the INSANE publicity given to these events.

There were NO firearms at all involved in that massacre.

In my story... the one with the Hero... it's (evil) been around a lot longer than that... In fact, in my story, somewhere near the beginning of civilization as we know it... there was a report... not dis-similar from our own FBI Uniform Crime Report... It said that the murder rate was 25%... Now, as I read the story... there were only 4 people... but one was killed by another... leaving 3. And guns (and maybe even knives) weren't even around then...
